HOQUIAM — The Grays Harbor College baseball team dropped to 5-30 on the season after losing four straight to Tacoma Community College over the weekend.

After losing a doubleheader to the Titans on Friday in Tacoma by scores of 14-0 and 11-0, the Chokers returned home Sunday fell to Titans by scores of 15-8 and 9-0 at Olympic Stadium.

In Sunday’s first game, the Chokers fell behind early after Tacoma scored seven runs in the second inning.

Down 11-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Grays Harbor scored seven runs to climb back into the game, capped by a grand slam home run from Chokers designated hitter Jayden Cabbab.

But Tacoma (28-5) immediately responded, scoring three runs in to top of the seventh and eventually won 15-8.

In the nightcap, Grays Harbor starting pitcher Michael Jarvis was brilliant early on, allowing just one hit while holding the Titans scoreless through the first four innings. But the right-hander ran into trouble in the fifth when Tacoma’s Cameron MacIntosh drove in the game’s first two runs on a triple to the right-center field gap. One pitch later, MacIntosh scored on a wild pitch to give the Titans a 3-0 lead.

Tacoma added four runs in the top of the sixth and a pair of runs in the seventh to make it a 9-0 final.

PWV takes two from Onalaska

The Pe Ell/Willapa Valley Titans benefited from a pesky bottom of their lineup en route to a home doubleheader sweep of Onalaska on Saturday.

PWV outslugged the Loggers 13-11 in game one thanks in large part to their No. 9 hitter Morgan Coady, who went 2-for-3 and reached base in all four of her plate appearances.

Katie Adkins also went 2-for-3 and Sid Pollard added two hits and a double for the Titans in the win.

The two teams combined for nine errors in the contest.

Game two, however, was much cleaner, with just a lone Onalaska error in the game.

PWV scored four runs in the first two innings and Adkins made the lead stick, allowing just three runs on six hits while striking out seven to secure the victory.

“She did a wonderful job for us,” PWV head coach Ken Olson said of his starter. “She had a real solid day on the mound and we needed it.”

Coady had the only extra-base hit for the Titans in the nightcap, an RBI double.

His mark is the fastest in the state’s 2A division this season, third fastest in the state overall.
